Discovery Cove is
where you can immerse yourself in adventures everywhere you turn
and forget about your cares for the day.
All you need to focus on is interacting with dolphins, birds,
fish and rays in an all-inclusive setting. Attendance is limited
to 1,000 guests per day at this reservations-only adventure,
setting it apart from the other Orlando attractions.
Experience both power and playfulness during
your personal swim with a bottlenose dolphin. It's the
centerpiece of your visit, but that’s just the beginning.
Feel a unique mix of both calm and
captivation as you snorkel among thousands of rays and exotic
fish, and explore the splendor of coral reefs and grottos. Then,
enter a series of free-flight aviaries where you can touch, feed
and interact with hundreds of colorful tropical birds.
At the end of your visit to Discovery Cove,
you can pickup a DVD of your day's adventure and relive it again
and again.
You deserve to be in Discovery Cove.
